This is a bit off topic and potentially a dumb question, but are Etobicoke and Scarborough held to the same procedure as Toronto firms? I haven't heard of anyone getting a call from their Crown offices yet. Thanks!

Hey guys, thanks for the responses.
The job is full service, although primarily litigation and they do criminal as well. I believe the work up north would be primarily family and criminal. Im a little concerned as well because they haven't really told me much of anything - I am supposed to come meet them in person and maybe that is when things will be discussed.
You are probably right though about taking the sure thing though. While the Crown would be awesome, it is obviously super competitive and wouldn't start until next year.

Hey all, was just looking to get some opinions on my situation.
I am graduating from a law school outside Ontario but have been looking for articling here with little success. I had been preparing to apply broadly in Toronto for the upcoming round - primarily for the Crown for which I have previous experience and ultimately is where I want to work.
However, I have received what is essentially an offer from a firm I applied to several months ago to start soon. The only thing is, it isn't much money and it has some interesting stipulations, including moving way north to their other location after articling.
I will most likely accept but I am wondering if its worth the risk to wait and apply again... I've heard that its really hard to get into the Crown unless you article with them. If anyone has any input, I am all ears! Thanks!
